Computers are supposed to make things easier.

Computers are supposed to make the possible easier. But they can't do much with the totally ambiguous. And I suspect that they wouldnt throw fits as often as you think. Especially if they were shown the obvious benefits of reduced maintenance (that they pay for) that can be obtained by not using ambiguous formats. Also IMO most corporate types like the idea of being ISO compliant.
